What is the OEM Program?

OEM partnerships are a critical component of VMware's total routes-to-market strategy. VMware teams with industry-leading hardware and software OEM companies to optimize selected technology and solutions with VMware software. Being a VMware OEM Partner gives you and your sales organizations access to exclusive sales, marketing and support resources.

Our core OEM program is the Global Partner Alliances program. As a Global Alliance Partner, you'll integrate your hardware and software with our technology, support your products running on our virtual machines and co-sell and/or resell our products. You agree to develop L1 and L2 support skills on the products you re-sell. You also agree to the OEM contract terms, and to minimum revenue attainment targets.

Through the Embedded OEM program, independent software vendors and independent hardware vendors can tightly integrate VMware products into their own solutions and sell the combined solution worldwide for out-of-the-box offerings and reduced deployment complexity.
